Congratulations to Janet and Steve for winning the regional (East & West Midlands) heat of the Best Community Pub 2008. The Sycamore Inn is now in the national final up against eight other regional finalists. The results will be announced at a black-tie reception at the London Hilton in Park Lane on Thursday 18th of September.
Well done Janet and Steve, you definitely deserve to win this category!
Also congratulations to Ruth and Phil at the Bluebell Inn, Tissington for winning their regional heat and getting to the final for the Best Food Pub category.
It is impressive that two local pubs are through to the finals, especially as the East & West Midlands region, including Derbyshire, Cheshire and Nottinghamshire in the north, seems to stretch via the Welsh boarders most of the way to London, including Henley on Thames and Bedford.
Congratulations Janet, this is well deserved!
Many congratulations – well done!
